Blue Ridge Parkway Wedding Planning Made Easy

Let us help you create a romantic event without spending tens of thousands of dollars. We provide assistance and southern hospitality. You select the rings and pick up the wedding license, which is easily done at our local courthouse. Every detail for the ceremony, flowers, photography, cake and champagne toast is included. Our chef would be glad to provide your pre-wedding dinner, a BBQ cookout, or catering for your guest reception as well.

The Lodge has 10 guest rooms on 3 different levels, each decorated in a different North Carolina theme.

All rooms have private baths and individual heating and air conditioning. The beds are fitted with comfortable, upgraded mattresses and soft Comphy Company linens. Many guests fall in love with these sheets and purchase them for their own homes. All of the rooms have irons & ironing boards, alarm clocks, and hair dryers for your convenience.

Bent Creek Lodge is ideally situated for couples and guests traveling from across Western North Carolina and beyond.

Just a short drive from downtown Asheville’s vibrant arts scene, craft breweries, and award-winning restaurants, the property also provides easy access to nearby destinations like Hendersonville and Brevard. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate its proximity to Pisgah National Forest, offering endless opportunities for hiking, waterfalls, and unforgettable wedding photos immersed in nature.
